had a similar problem , though mine is 318 .
did a diag test & it shows "pressure regulator" .
my mech "delete" the warning .
he told me if light come up again , really need to
change the "pressure regulator" .
Recond one will set you back about RM500 .
But it's been 1 month since I did that & the warning
never came back ...keeping my finger crossed .

:dunno:

tumpang your thread can ah? because if I make a new one it will be the same title.

I get the warning light when I press the accelerator all the way down all the way, then push harder on the tip to gain better acceleration. I think the car "drops gear" when I do this. So when I do this, 4 out of 5 times I will get the gearbox warning light.

I turn the car off and on again and the light will go off.

Is this a serious problem?

My mech tested and reproduced the problem, then told me to start saving for a gearbox.
